"Let's be real here, people force the L-word WAY too soon on this show," Fedotowsky said.

"Don't get me wrong, I believe in love at first sight! It's never too soon to say 'I love you' if you truly fall in love with someone. I know it's possible to fall in love in an instant.

"When I first said 'I love you' to my boyfriend, it came out so easily. It was as if I had waited my whole life to say those words and there was absolutely no awkwardness.

"My point is that the reason people on this show tend to be awkward when saying the L-word is because they're not ready yet."

Fedotowsky continued: "Honestly, everyone I've met from this show admits that they didn't actually fall in love on the show, but after the show. Why? Because you don't really know the person when you're on the show.

"You spend about a total of 12 hours together in the first two months of the show and it's under very strange circumstances."
